ROFL yea a "Republican" trying to defeat the Republican candidate for President and protecting the Democrat candidate from going to jail and trying to ensure her election. YEA some "Republican" and Trump "ally".

 

“Evidence presented to the court does not have to be rigorously proved or corroborated. But it does have to be plausible and credible — not just rumor or hearsay,” Steven Aftergood, the director of the Project on Government Secrecy for the Federation of American Scientists, told The Daily Caller News Foundation.
The FBI can cite information that the bureau has not fully verified or corroborated as long as the source for the information is made clear and an assessment of the reliability of the information is included in the application.

It is up to one of the judges sitting on the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court to decide if the evidence meets the standard of probable cause that a surveillance target is acting as an agent of a foreign power.

Or, if you don't like the previous post try this one. It's my favorite.

More fundamentally, though, much of the commentary claiming some clear breach of protocol in the Carter Page FISA simply misunderstands what it means to say that a FISA application has been “verified.” It does not mean that every tip provided by a source has been independently corroborated. Rather, “verification” refers to the process laid out in the so-called “Woods procedures,” which require Justice Department officials to verify that representations made in a submission to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court match the information in the FBI’s investigative files. If the application relies upon a source for some claim, does the documentation in the case file support that the source actually said what the application presents the source as saying? In this case, then, “verification” would not mean the FBI had necessarily tracked down Steele’s own sources to corroborate his reporting. Rather, it would require that someone “verify” that when the application summarized what Steele had told the FBI, it did so accurately.

lol, you mean the Republican Comey concealing the Trump investigation and blaming about the Clinton investigation

 

The FBI had NO corroboration or verification other than what THEY created.

 

And the FBI CREATED the verification out of nothing. Comey testified it was not verified.
Comey’s confession: dossier not verified before, or after, FISA warrant

"
But lawmakers were relieved when Comey could remember one fact that is essential to understanding if his FBI acted appropriately in the investigation of Donald Trump and Russia.

The towering ex-FBI boss confessed that the FBI had not corroborated much of the Steele dossier before it was submitted as evidence to a secret court to support a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant to spy on Trump campaign adviser Carter Page in the final weeks of the election.

And Comey admitted much of the dossier remained uncorroborated more than six months later when he was fired by President Trump."

Verify that the FBI accurately summarized Steele's unverified statements?
That's cute

 

NOT VERIFIED, I don't know what your missing here and how could it be verified since it was false to begin with?

 

They read it in the Michael Issakoff report on Yahoo News....................oh that right they fed it to him.

 

Glad you liked it.
Another conspiracy theory bites the dust.

 

Maybe if they told the court they were only "accurately summarizing" unverified statements

 

Well, you can read most of it. They were pretty up front about it.

 

Steele:
Regular contact between Trump campaign and Russians.
Russia running a campaign to interfere in the 2016 election.
Wikileaks part of Russian hacking.
Russian disinformation efforts
Trump real estate dealings in Russia.
Offer was made for women to Trumps hotel room.
Flynn's trip to Moscow

 

Why don't we have an inventory of contacts between the Clinton campaign and the RUSSIANS!?

 

Who cares about Russia, they have an economy the size of Italy's, a military 10% the size of ours, and one broken aircraft carrier.

 

Was there something about that in the dossier.
Oh no. Just a whataboutism.

 

And President Trump.

 

The topic is FISA application

 

Did you forget your post?

 

reading comprehension not one of your strengths ?

 

It goes all the way up to the White House.

 

Hmmm...a little "enhanced interrogation" should provide a confession that takes this all the way to the top, eh?
